While serving as Inspector General of the Ministry of Defense, Marshal Hadi Tjahjanto has his own strategy, among others, avoiding the purchase of defense equipment from brokers.

But until now the country does not want to release control of the operation of these planes. Finally, Hadi chose a drone made domestically and China.
